IMPROVEMENT IN cATTLEsTANcH |oNs.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom @t may concernl Be it known that I, J osHUn A. Rosieres, ot' Hermon, in the County of St. Lawrence and State ot New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cow-Stanchions; and do hereby declare thatthe following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the aecom-n pan yin g drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

rlhe nature oi' my invention consists in the oonstruetion and arrangement of an improved cowstanchion, as willv be hereinafter fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art A'to whichiny.il1vention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to' describe its construction and operation, referringr to the annexed drawing which forms a part' of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a side view;

Figure 2, an end View; and

Figure 3; a plan view. .v v

A A represent the stationary stanehions or standards, secured at suitable intervals between thevbarsV B B, at the hase and top, as shown in fig. 2.

Between the standards A A, and' between the base-bars B B, are pivoted the movable stanehions CH O, which extcndupward, and pass between the upper bars B B.

. 'te On these movable stanchiens are secured guides D D, in which moves a horizontal bar, E. l

At the upper end of each of the standards A is pivoted a lateh, G, which falls down, holding the adjoining movable stanehious G closed.

On the inner side ot' the horizontal bar E, are secured pins (t a,which, when said bar is moved inward, operate to close all the movable stanehions, the latches G Gr falling down to keep them closed. l

The' bar E being now drawn outward again, any

-on'e or all of thestauchions Omay be opened by raising their respective latches.

A pin, 1), may he passed through the horizontal bar 7E and the end or main standard A, for holding the stanchions either open or closed, as may be desired. Having t-hus fully described my invention, \Vhat I c laln as new, arnl-desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- The arrangement ofthe standards A A, bars B B, movable stanehions C C, guides D D, horizontal bar E, witli pins a a., and latches G G, all'substantially as shown and described.
